Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of cardinality $q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime number $p$, $t\geq 2$ an even number satisfying $t \not\equiv 1 \;(\bmod \;p)$ and $\mathbb{F}_{q^t}$ an extension field of $\mathbb{F}_q$ with degree…

Let $L$ be a separable quadratic extension of either $\mathbb{Q}$ or $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We propose efficient algorithms for finding isomorphisms between quaternion algebras over $L$. Our techniques are based on computing maximal one-sided…

The basics of quasitriangular Hopf algebras and quantum Lie algebras are briefly reviewed, and it is shown that their properties allow the introduction of a Killing form. For quantum Lie algebras, this leads to the definitions of a Killing…

We develop a theory of two-parameter quantum polynomial functors. Similar to how (strict) polynomial functors give a new interpretation of polynomial representations of the general linear groups $\operatorname{GL}_n$, the two-parameter…

We study quadratic form parameters $Q$ over the integers and extended quadratic forms with values in $Q$, which we call $Q$-forms. Certain form parameters $Q$ appeared in Wall's work on the classification of almost closed $(n-1)$-connected…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $2$, $\pi$ be an $n$-fold bilinear Pfister form over $F$ and $\varphi$ an arbitrary quadratic form over $F$. In this note, we investigate Witt index, defect, total isotropy index and higher isotropy…

In this paper, we propose a general mechanism for the existence of quasicrystals in spatially extended systems (partial differential equations with Euclidean symmetry). We argue that the existence of quasicrystals with higher order…

We prove a spectral summation formula for the product of four Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight cusp forms in Kohnen's subspace. The other side of the formula involves certain generalized class numbers of pairs of quadratic forms…

Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by means of various mathematical tools -- the theory of…

We construct the quadratic analogue of the boson Fock functor. While in the first order case all contractions on the 1--particle space can be second quantized, the semigroup of contractions that admit a quadratic second quantization is much…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$ and let $E/F$ be a purely inseparable field extension. We study the group $H_p^{n+1}(F)$ of classes of differential forms under the restriction map $H_p^{n+1}(F)\to H_p^{n+1}(E)$ and give a system of…

We consider Hilbert-type functions associated with difference (not necessarily inversive) field extensions and systems of algebraic difference equations in the case when the translations are assigned some integer weights. We will show that…

We investigate the probability that a random quadratic form in ${\mathbb{Z}}[x_1,...,x_n]$ has a totally isotropic subspace of a given dimension. We show that this global probability is a product of local probabilities. Our main result…

Let $\varphi$ and $\psi$ be quadratic forms over a field $K$ of characteristic different from 2. In this paper, we give a criterion for isotropy of $\varphi$ over the function field of $\psi$ in terms of representations and we apply it to…

This paper is concerned with two generalizations of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions that have more or less recently appeared. The Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions and its dual, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric…

The quantum affine $\CU_q (\hat{sl(2)}) $ symmetry is studied when $q^2$ is an even root of unity. The structure of this algebra allows a natural generalization of N=2 supersymmetry algebra. In particular it is found that the momentum…

In this paper, we explore the behavior of orthogonal involutions in the context of totally positive field extensions. Let $K/F$ be a totally positive extension of formally real fields. By Becher's result, if a quadratic form $q$ over $F$…
